60s: I have a store

Chapter 60 Call me

In Huangyun Village, after the two brothers Shengli and Shengyi returned, as expected, they were scolded by their stepmother and beaten with a stick by their biological father.

The two brothers did not even have to act as they were beaten to pieces on the spot when they did not return home that night.

That looked really miserable.

The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and "advised" him to be careful when educating his children and not to abuse his children in this way.

Children without mothers are like grass. After their mother passed away, especially after that guy got married again, it seems that the two children have never had a good life.

"It's none of your business! It's only natural for me to beat my son! If you have the leisure time, just take care of your own son!" the victorious father cursed.

This naturally caused other dissatisfaction.

Just at this moment, Huang Suqin's "men" arrived.

Shengli and Shengyi’s grandfather brought a group of people and “rushed” into Huangyun Village.

Seeing their grandson being beaten like that, they beat the guy up without saying a word.

Not only did the villagers not help him, they even applauded him. To have made it this far, he must be a talent.

Soon, the head of Huangyun Village came forward, which was really embarrassing. They basically understood the situation, and it would be wrong to tell others about it.

The victorious grandfather angrily argued with the village chief of Huangyun Village and demanded an explanation.

"Brother, calm down. We understand that bastard. Now that things have come to this, let's discuss a solution!" said the chief of Huangyun Village.

"What I mean is, since he can't support my grandson, I will take him away and cut off all ties with him from now on. I hope everyone can be a witness to this."

When the people in Huangyun Village heard this, they all felt that this man was sentimental.

You know, many people nowadays can’t even support their own family, let alone two children. Many people can’t take care of their daughter’s children after her death.

"I don't agree unless he gives me 200 yuan. These two bastards can still work at home. If they leave, my family will have less..."

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

No one, including the village chief of Huangyun Village, expected that this guy was so shameless.

It’s fine if you are shameless, but can you please not bring shame to our village?

"Beat him!" Even the head of Huangyun Village couldn't stand it.

Some people have been itching to do it for a long time. After hearing what the village chief said, they rolled up their sleeves and fucked him. I have seen scumbags, but I have never seen such a scumbag father.

How is this different from selling your son?
100 yuan each?
Their village can be poor, but they cannot have no bottom line!

As a result, Shengli's father was beaten black and blue, and had no power to fight back. As for his wife, she also hid secretly and trembled in fear under the public anger. How could she dare to stand out?

Finally, with the intervention of the village chief of Huangyun Village and some village elders, the brothers Shengli and Shengyi completely severed ties with their biological father and were taken away by their grandfather.

Not only did that guy not receive any money, he was also beaten twice. What was even worse was that he had a falling out with the villagers.

Huang Suqin was so heartbroken to see her two nephews being beaten like that that she took them back to the city courtyard to recuperate that same day.

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Yimin had nothing to do, so he strolled around the village.

In this era, it is quite boring to stay at home. There is no TV, no mobile phone, and no computer. If there is someone to chat with, then chat. If there is no one to chat with, then just stare blankly.

Zhou Yimin remembered that he still had a radio ticket.

He plans to buy a radio some other day to entertain his grandparents.

It can be predicted that once a radio appears in Zhoujiazhuang, there may be many idle old men and women who will come to join in the fun. After all, almost no one in Zhoujiazhuang has ever heard of a radio.

In this era, radios are high-tech products.

It’s not that there aren’t any televisions, but not many people have them, let alone in the countryside, even in the city!

At least since Zhou Yimin traveled through time, he has never seen a television set of this era.

By the 1970s, televisions were still rare, but no longer so "mysterious". It was not until the 1980s that televisions really entered the homes of ordinary people.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the riverbank and saw the bustling scene. This is the strong atmosphere of this era.

Work together, eat together!
At that time, people were really poor, but they had faith.

"Uncle Sixteen!"

"Yi Min!"

……

People who saw Zhou Yimin greeted him one after another.

The old branch secretary walked over here.

"Yimin, how much is the corn seed? I'll collect some money." The village's collective money might not be enough, as it had been spent too much before. So, if necessary, he would have to collect some money from the villagers.

"80 yuan is fine."

In fact, Zhou Yimin didn’t know how much the seeds sold for in the store. He bought them in the store in his mind, and that was the price, so he didn’t make any profit from the difference.

The old branch secretary was silent for a few seconds, then said gratefully: "Yimin, thank you!"

He was clear about the market situation of corn seeds. Not to mention the varieties, it was impossible to buy so many seeds for 80 yuan.

Corn seeds are selected fine products, so their prices are naturally much more expensive than ordinary corn kernels.

Besides, it was not easy to buy corn seeds during this period, let alone so many. He guessed that Zhou Yimin had used some connections to get in.

This made them even more grateful to Zhou Yimin.

"Secretary, you don't consider me a local." Zhou Yimin said with a smile.

The old branch secretary said helplessly: "Okay, I won't say any more. I won't say any more."

A thousand words of thanks are not as good as a real return.

The old branch secretary knows what to do.

He turned his gaze towards the reclaimed riverbed and said leisurely, "This soil is good soil. What a pity."

We don’t know how long we can plant these crops. Once the river water from upstream comes, we will have to abandon them. Thinking of this, the hearts of the whole village bleed.

"What's the pity? After the drought is over, we can just dig up the soil.

First, it will save water; second, it can dredge the river; third, by deepening the river channel, it can store more water in the future to prevent drought and floods. It’s a win-win situation!” Zhou Yimin analyzed.

The old branch secretary's face was blank again.

What's wrong with his brain? Every time Zhou Yimin makes a suggestion, he always comes up with some golden ideas.

Yes! When the time comes, we can dig out the soil, which is originally the mud at the bottom of the river. There are many benefits. It would be a pity to throw such fertile soil at the bottom of the river.

Even if someone from the commune came, they couldn't find fault with it. We are just clearing the silt! It can be used for flood prevention in the future. Who dares to say it's wrong?
Zhou Yimin added: "It's just that the workload is a bit large."

The old Party Secretary shook his head repeatedly: "Not big, not big! That's right! When the time comes, we will dig out the soil. We are clearing the silt."

He was pleasantly surprised.

As for the large amount of work? What is most in short supply right now is labor.

If one month is not enough, then three months will do. After the busy farming season, they actually have nothing to do.

Just then, there was a commotion not far away, as if something was dug out, and a group of people gathered around to watch.

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin and the old branch secretary also walked over.

"Make way, make way, Yimin is coming."

Old Party Secretary: “…”

You only saw Yimin? You didn't see me?
